apfs metadata timestamps
What are extents in APFS?
Extents are themethod used by many file systems to store location of file content and a single file is composed of one or more extents. A single extent has a block start address and a length given in bytes or number of blocks. APFS makes use of extents in file meta-data to keep records of file content.
Is APFS an extension of HFS+?
APFS is not an extension of HFS+. From HFS+ we are familiar with special files such as the catalog file, attributes file, allocation file and extents overflow file. These files do not exist any more nor does the journal exist. APFS uses a different strategy in ensuring secure changes in the file system ( Apple Inc., 2016a ).
Is APFS the new file system for Apple devices?
Solid State Drives (SSD) are replacing traditional drives. All of these present challenges for file systems. APFS is a file system developed from first principles and will, in 2017, become the new file system for Apple devices. Apple has used the HFS/HFS+ file systems for the past 30 years.
What is APFS time stamp based on?
Generally, in HFS+, the time format was based on seconds since 1904-01-01. The Unix epoch time stamp has been used since Mac OS-X 10.7 (Lion) in the HFS+ Catalog file's ‘Date Added’ field as an unsigned 32 bit value (seconds since 1970-01-01). With APFS, all time-stamps were changed from 32- to64-bit and stored as unsigned values.
